Aix Operating Systems - Motorola MPMC101 User Manual

3Software Driver Installation
3
The PMC Adapter and the PCI Adapter use the same software
drivers. Whether the adapter is installed to a PCI slot or to a PMC
mezzanine slot, the selection of a driver is based upon the operating
system in use by the host computer; not by the configuration of the
system hardware.

AIX Operating Systems

There is no software to install because the needed driver software
is installed as the driver for the NCR825 family of SCSI adapters
during installation of AIX. However, the AIX system administrator
must now determine the names of the peripheral devices that AIX
will assign upon booting up, and configure the devices with System
Management Integration Tool (SMIT).
The administrator could determine the new SCSI disk device names
by using the command line:
lsdev -Cc disk | grep -i scsi
This would indicate all SCSI disks found, not just the new ones. The
new devices indicate that they were ÒdefinedÓ however, they are
not ÒavailableÓ until the logical volumes and volume groups are
configured and file systems created via SMIT and mounted by a
knowledgeable administrator.
Refer to your AIX System AdministratorÕs documentation for more
information on configuring the driver and peripheral devices.
